Intimacy can be transformative, but what happens when we make it sacred? This episode dives into the raw, transformative power of sacred sexuality through the stories of three couples who’ve been through it all—breakups, reunions, and those messy, beautiful moments that define a relationship. They’re sharing how rituals and shared practices have not only strengthened their bonds but helped them navigate conflict in a way that feels… well, sacred. Whether you’re coupled up or just curious about deeper love, this one will make you see connection in a whole new light.
When it comes to conflict, these couples are refreshingly honest, offering a glimpse into the ways they tackle tough times together. They’ll talk you through some seriously cool approaches to handling disagreements—think “calls to greatness” instead of arguments. It’s all about building something that feels safe, respected, and still exciting. They’re not just sharing tips—they’re giving a genuine look at what it takes to build trust, feel seen, and truly support each other. It’s the kind of understanding that goes beyond advice and into the heart of what makes love last.
And, in perhaps the most beautiful part, they explore what “home” means in a relationship—a feeling of joy, safety, and shared purpose that isn’t easy to put into words but is felt deeply. Whether you’re partnered or single, these stories will get you thinking about love, connection, and how we all crave that deeper sense of belonging.

Memorable Quotes:
“Get rid of the idea that sex is only about pleasure because sex is about life itself. And so if you want full spectrum aliveness, you have to open yourself into a portal of sexuality that allows you to express the fullness of your being.”– Layla Martin
“Sacred sexuality is… instead of needing to look outside for that aliveness, you really get to find it in your partnership—and it’s because of the partnership, and the safety of your partnership that you get to then go so deep.” – Johann Urb
“A lot of us have heard this thing of, like, find a partner that doesn’t ever make you change. That’s a really old standard, right? We are meant—like the purpose of our existence—is to evolve. And so, find someone who stokes that.” – Rachel Pringle Urb
“These tears we have, what you’re seeing is the depth of love and a life lived and committed to each other. And we truly believe that love is a soul carver—it will carve all the shit you don’t need off of your soul… so that you get to the real essence of who you are as souls in the world.” – Sheila Kelley
“Once your kids… your children come into the world, then you understand the word compromise—because your life changes for them, as well as for each other, because you have to help make each other better parents and be there for each other.” – Richard Schiff
“I am in no way diminished by virtue of her expansion and her expression in the world… far from it. The more I see her spiral upwards and be this lighthouse, this beacon, this vector of change, of liberation, of freedom and ascension in the world—the more inspired I am, the more in love I am.” – Dr. Baback Amen
